Trying on bras falls into the category of… least favorite things to do. Don’t worry we went ahead and took all the guess work out of finding the perfect bra for all type/sizes.
After two kids your body goes through some major changes and things aren’t the way they once were. My best advice if you need some major support is to stop shopping for bras at the same place you bought swimsuits and velour pants from in 2004- not going to work. Second piece of advice is to splurge for a quality bra – just think price per wear.
Also there is a long list of reasons you might need to upgrade your bra… post pregnancy, weight gain or loss, age, whatever your reason. Take a peak into your bra drawer and see what you need.
Favorite everyday bra | Lightest Lift |Soma Vanishing 360
Top Bra Picks
Favorite everyday bra : This has been my go-to bra for years and years. They are retiring it so grab it while you can! I recently grabbed a few of these to try before my fav retires and it’s just as good. Lift + coverage! 32B – 40 G
Lightest lift is great if you want a little more pad in the cup.
Soma Vanishing 360 : This is one of my favorite bras with fitted tops or white tee’s. The last thing I want is the back fat bra bulge (not cute). This bra has extra wide straps around you back that help hide and smooth everything! Sizes 32 B – 44 DDD This also comes in a fuller coverage version here!
This Natori bra is a second fav for wearing with tee shirts too! It comes in so many sizes and colors! This one has almost 3,000 5 star reviews, so you know it is good! Sizes 30 B – 38 DD
Sports Bras
Finding a good sports bra with a larger chest is a real task. I don’t want to wear 3 of them. I don’t want a mushed uni-boob and small – medium – large doesn’t work! So the search began, I needed a mix between a regular bra and high support. Finally found two that I love.
Natori Yogi : This sports bra comes in ” bra sizes,” adjustable shoulder straps, adjustable band strap and underwire! Woohoo all the things. Just trust me it’s the best there is!
Lululemon Enlite : This is another great option to get support and bra sizing in a sports bra! This one doesn’t have underwire but does have cups and an great adjustable band! The back has shoulder straps and a cross back for major support!
Bralettes
The bralette trend is all over the place. It’s way cuter than letting your real bra hang out (please don’t) and they are super comfy. This is really C’s area of expertise because the cute bralettes just do not give me enough support.
Halogen Seamless Bralette : Perfect for everyday wear and great for sizes A-C. The straps also have a mini clasp to wear with a racer back too!
Aerie Plunge : Another super soft bralette with a great band around the bottom. This is only $20 now too!
Halogen Contour : This bra gives you a little more coverage and shape with the light cups and is C’s TOP PICK. There is also a plunge that is perfect for pairing for deep-v tops.
Free People Lace Bralette : This is a forever top seller to layer with off loose tops!
Strapless
Don’t give up hope on strapless bras – just find the right one.
Soma : One of my favs EVER! It will not fall down, has wide straps around the sides/ back too for extra support / comfort!
Curvy Kate : I have several swimsuits from this brand and they offer some amazing support and wont fall! Sizes : 28 D – 40 K
Wacoal Red Carpet Convertible Strapless : This is the perfect strapless for all sizes – plus it has a ton of 5 star reviews!
So while we are here I will go ahead and put up my fav undies that you might need too.
